NGAUS: Specify Emergency Needs
WASHINGTON — The National Guard’s powerful lobbying arm is pushing for a legal requirement that the Guard report what it needs to respond to domestic emergencies, a way to highlight gaps for the Pentagon and for Congress to fill.
While the top priority at National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) is still an end to sequestration and avoiding a continuing resolution that could last a year, its president, retired Maj. Gen. Gus Hargett, said he is watching several other issues: the AH-64 Apache transfers from the Guard to the active component, full-time manning and the reporting issue. All are in play as the House and Senate conference to reconcile their versions of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
